[Verse 1] Smoke-stained windows Same old stool at the end of the bar She walks in laughing Winter wind still clinging to her scarf Dark hair falling Like a secret I was never meant to own I raise my glass up And drink down every word I can't let go [Chorus] Frozen words on my tongue I chew on the silence Let 'em burn, let 'em numb 'Til they fall in the quiet She's a prayer I won't say I'm a ghost in my own skin Frozen words on my lips And I walk out alone again (Frozen words) (Alone again) [Verse 2] Jukebox humming Neon halo around her cigarette She's tracing circles On a napkin she don't even need yet My hands are shaking Round this glass that's long since lost the cold I mouth “hey, darlin’” But the sound dies somewhere in my throat [Chorus] Frozen words on my tongue I chew on the silence Let 'em burn, let 'em numb 'Til they fall in the quiet She's a prayer I won't say I'm a ghost in my own skin Frozen words on my lips And I walk out alone again (Frozen words) (Alone again) [Bridge] Parking lot gravel Crunching soft under coward feet Rearview mirror Shows a stranger staring back at me Her face in the window Getting smaller in the dark behind I taste those wasted letters Melting down like cheap red wine (Oh God) (Oh God) [Chorus] Frozen words on my tongue I chew on the silence Let 'em burn, let 'em numb 'Til they fall in the quiet She's a prayer I won't say I'm a ghost in my own skin Frozen words on my lips So I drive this shame back home again (Frozen words) (Back home again) [Outro] Kitchen light buzzing Coat still smelling like her perfume I bite my tongue hard Just to feel something bloom Frozen words on my tongue I spit 'em into the sink A man can drown in what he never Finds the nerve to speak (Finds the nerve) (Finds the nerve)
